Colbert's replacement on Comedy Central

Comedy Central promotes senior black correspondent Larry Wilmore into the big chair to host "Minority Report" in Stephen Colbert's former time slot following "The Daily Show."

I'll definitely check it out. Wilmore is a funny, funny dude.

 

It's an interesting choice, and I'm intrigued enough to give it a couple views at the very least. Wilmore is 52, which seems a bit old to be a first-time talk show host, but I've always felt like Colbert skewed toward an older audience than TDS anyway, for some reason. (Even though Colbert is marginally younger than Stewart, 49 to 51.) I've always liked his bits on TDS. If they were promoting from within, I think Jessica Williams would have been an even more intriguing option, but she's only 24 and barely has two years on the show.
